Vermont hikes minimum wage to $10.50. Vermont is the latest state to approve a minimum wage hike. The state's lawmakers passed a bill Saturday that raises the minimum wage in phases from $8.73 to $10.50 by 2018. Gov. Peter Shumlin is expected to sign the bill, his office confirmed.
Vermont has lowest GDP in U.S. The best summary statistic we have to describe a state or nationâs economy is gross domestic product, the total dollar value of all goods and services produced within its borders. Vermontâs GDP â $30.4 billion in 2015 â pales in comparison to the U.S. total of $17,800 billion. Thatâs usually referenced as $17.8 trillion, but itâs hard enough for me to conceptualize a billion dollars, much less a trillion, and comparing Vermontâs GDP to the nation is best done using the same units of measure.
